You see, the Terps sported white pants in the Week 1 win against Miami. Weeks 2 and 3 saw black pants and back-to-back losses. We’re not saying there’s a correlation, but ... maybe there’s a correlation.

This week’s uniform has the team in black pants again in their matchup against an undefeated Towson. If we were the superstitious type, we’d be placing the mortgage money on Towson. (Programming note: please don’t place the mortgage money on Towson. Or Maryland. Or any other team.)

If Maryland falls to defeat again, we say toss the black pants. We’re willing to forgive white pants after Labor Day if it means better luck for the struggling Terps.
